clock to get the situation under control. most of the highest priority in the district of groups as low remains the prevention of any further spread of the virus and to avoid a shutdown. but parties have complained however that the operators of europe's largest meat processing plant have been making their job difficult by not providing relevant employee information the head of the crisis management team says he's lost all faith in the meatpacking company. i want to say clearly that the trust we have an attorney his company is 0 i have to say this clearly. that statement prompted a response from the owner of the plant clemons 10 years he said his firm had struggled to collect the personal data of employees and contractors. and i love form and truly get i can only offer my complete apologies and i give my apology

data political correspondent kate brady ok thanks for coming in this isn't the 1st time there's been a corona virus outbreak at a slaughterhouse in germany how can this keep happening well this comes down to has been attributed so far to some of the cramped working especially living conditions that many of these workers have to live in most of these employees to nears and many other slaughterhouses as well particularly in western parts of germany migrants contract workers from bulgaria and romania and these living conditions that many employees have to put up with it is it's no secret that it's something that's been discussed time and time again by by local authorities and national level here in germany as well but the meat processing industry in germany is so powerful and a lot of the the firms say that they need these contract workers to keep meat

prices low in germany and so far that's how they've been able to pretty much turn a blind eye to some of the issues. that we're seeing in the accommodation for these migrants and how is this affecting the coronavirus numbers here in germany what we've seen just yesterday was the reproduction rate again here in germany it's now at 1.79 and that's being attributed the rope a cork institute says that's the public health. institute here in germany due to these outbreaks that we're seeing not only at the slaughterhouses in western germany but we've also had some cluster infections even here in the capital in berlin as well 7 locations in the southern part of berlin now being quarantined about halfway through that quarantine so so far though the public health institute has said that this isn't something we need to be too worried about and at the moment the number of new cases nationwide is still relatively low where you mention that these working conditions are quite well known what do we expect will happen to

prevent this from continuing with a more cases like this continue as well so far the 6 and a half 1000 employees to nearest processing firm they all being quarantined but at the same time there's also other people who don't work at the meat person for who live nearby they've also been quarantined because they live in the same apartment buildings and the state government cabinet in the state of north rhine-westphalia where this outbreak is in western germany the cabinet is meeting today to discuss whether they need to have a wider quarantine put in place so at the moment it seems that it has been contained to the employees at this meat processing firm but of course that off a is that you know all these are you are going to abide by the corn team that's been fences put up in some places to try and keep people within that quarantines but of course you know emotions are running high it's not something that people necessarily want to abide by we've got another hot week coming up in germany as well particularly in that part of germany in these are not conditions that people

want to be kept in at the best of times let alone and quarantine yeah no no one's to be indoors and all right we'll get ready thanks very much for bringing us up to speed as which will be keeping a close on the story. here's a quick roundup now of other developments in the corona virus pandemic beijing reported 22 new cases in the current of of the coronavirus on sunday this comes after a mass testing effort that's collected more than 2000000 samples in a race to contain a new outbreak and swiss pharmaceutical giant no novato this is a whole thing a clinical trial of hydroxy chloroquine as a treatment for covert 9 tain the company says it's having problems recruiting enough patients for the study of the controversial drug and in india has confirmed more than 151-5000 new infections the biggest one day increase reported since the start of the outbreak there. are some support now and a so-called relegation at 6.2 was played out when minds and braman lost horns in
